RESOLVED: T2043 Tax Credit Included in Income Twice

We have discovered an issue where, in specific circumstances, the Return of fuel charge proceeds to farms tax credit (claimed on the T2043) is included in income twice. This issue affects both the T2042 and the T1273/4 farming statements.

The income inclusion doubles when the taxpayer has a farming statement for a farm they own 100%, and one for a farm that is a partnership.

Under these circumstances, the amount of the credit is included in income in the following places on the farming statement:

1. Correctly on line 5B in Part 5 on the T2042 (or on line E of the Summary of Income and Expenses of T1273/4) for the partnership-owned farm, and
2. Mistakenly as other income in Part 3 on the T2042 (or Other farming income on T1273/4) for the 100%-owned farm.

This effectively includes the amount as income twice for the same taxpayer.
